My team performed at the show that they were arriving at. My team lead wittnessed the event, truly sad and sobering. The show did go on as planned but with delay, do to the on site FAA monitor being busy with post accident investigation. The lead AC pilot that was struck by the #2 did a wonderful job of piloting his sticken plane to a safe landing. His left spar was severly damage, the left aileron was useless and AC was also trailing smoke. The three surviving members of the team are based out of my airport.

It is a sad day for all when an aviator falls. My condolences.

I fear now more scrutiny from the FAA will befall us all as this is the

second midair between an RV'er in little over a year.

Be careful out there on these weekend sorties.

Greetings,



	I feel the need to chime in on the topic to formation flying.

First, it's a lot of fun.  Second, it is extremely dangerous.  While both

these points are obvious as the day is bright, we seem to forget this from

time to time.  Reminders hit rather hard.



	I've lost a few friends in mid-air collisions.  I have been subject

to watching friends fall to their death in broken airplanes.  I have also

had friends come in contact with one another while flying, without terminal

effect.  I think of this every time I fly formation, before strapping in.



	The most dangerous thing we do in aviation is formation flying, be

it simply bombing around the countryside, air racing or formation airbatics.

Even given the danger, we often pretend it is not as dangerous as it really

is to life and limb.



	Don't be fooled by the awesome sight you behold in formation flight,

it can end too quickly.  Always be aware of this.



Regards,



Marsh

-Deepest condolences to the Good family, Blackhawk Squadron and our RV family. Even the best of us make mistakes, or the variables run too quick and exceed the ability to recover. We are grateful for Pappys skill and the fact that he is still with us. - V

We extend our deepest regrets to the family of Chris Good.  Yes, this  

is a terrible tragedy and those closest to him will greatly miss  

him.  Loss of life is part of life and never welcoming but for the  

"believer" who will fly without man made wings.  Thank God that only  

one pilot was lost.
